I must apologize to DUers about the Josh Duggar thing.

When I heard about it yesterday I heard he was a minor and the girls were around his age. I never heard about the 4 year old until today or that fact that it was a repeat offense when he was 18.


So I am sorry I asked an uneducated question.



The sad part is that I believe people have figured out the sister in question. My wife got an e-mail from her friend saying she figured out who it was. Showed my wife how she did it.

My wife didn't believe her friend. her friend is into all that TMZ stuff but my wife did a 2 minute search and she thinks she knows.


My wife's friend also mentioned in the e-mail ( this friend loved watching the Duggars) she realized after doing the search this girl doesn't get all that screen time.


Again I am sorry for my stupid question earlier about records being sealed.

Can I just say without being called a troll or people saying I'm coming to Duggar's defense...

Aren't Juvenile records suppose to be sealed?


I mean if it wasn't the fact he went after his sister --incest---my brother and his girlfriend fondled one another at that age.


One also has to wondered who abused him...Generally isn't this learned behavior?




I am sorry I didn't have all the information. My knowledge was what I heard/read yesterday. he was 14 and the girls around his age. I had no clue of the 4/5 year old victim OR the repeat abuse of that victim. I admit I am dumb.

We are Fucked up in this Country: Rachel Maddow talking about the parents having to pay.

Colorado law says anyone who sues a gun manufacture (And loose) have to pay court cost for the manufacture (and this is only for gun makers/bullets)


Got to fucking love Corporate America!

I started a new job and in july will beable to cover my wife and I Health, Vision and Dental for $66

a month.


I want her to drop her insurance right now. We are paying $100.00 a month for her health insurance right now and it is crap. She got the insurance through one of the staffing agencies she is with. She pays $100.00 just for health care and she has gone to the doctor twice and had blood work done. The total bill is $580 dollars. This is stuff the insurance company is suppose to be covering. My step-mother is a paralegal and was on a conference call with my wife and her insurance company and she is reading the coverage policy word for word to the supervisor who is dancing around the issue.

They claim that they can deny any claim at anytime.

I told my wife just drop them now because we shouldn't pay for something that isn't working.

She is out of her depression pills. We can't pay for her to see the doctor now until she finds a job.

PA unemployment denied her claim because they are only looking at the work she did in Washington country. They have denied her appeal. My wife is getting worse with her depression. I am at my wits end and I'm frustrated with everything!

FUCK THIS COUNTRY!!!!

We are not a great place we are on a race down hill quickly.

Thank you for letting me vent.

This was the concern: No True primary to debate the issues.

Reid: Hillary Clinton 'has a clear field' for 2016

I posted this earlier and basically told I was full of it but when you have Harry Reid saying things like this I worry: When and where the American people have a say on the issues. The Primary allows our voice--by polling ---to indicate what is important to us...what we want the candidates to be focused on issues.


When we have party leaders stating things like this and Bernie Sanders being treated like the democratic "court jester" by some in the media and even on this board.

Anyone want to slam me or easy my fears or even agree with me the floor is yours...
